type in =SLOPE(known_y's,known_x's)
Ex: =SLOPE(D1:D5,A1:A5)
And that will give you your slope
You need at least two points on the line, if not more. So in one cell, say D1, you could have a y co-ordinate and in A1 an x cordinate, giving you one point. Then in the other cell pairs, like D2 and A2 you could have the co-ordinates for other points. The above example is getting 5 points. So if you fill in your co-ordinates for the points into the appropriate cells, you can use the formula typed into an empty cell to get the slope:
=SLOPE(D1:D5,A1:A5)
this my personal file
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
The actual lines are known as gridlines, both vertical and horizontal. A vertical line of cells is known as a row.
It gives you a line-break inside of a cell.
Yes it does.
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you know the slope of a line in question, or you can calculate it, then you know the slope of any line parallel to that line.
The slope of both lines will be the same.
the slope of a line = the Change in Y divided by the Change in X
you look at the line and see if there are any direct points on the line the slope formula
Why do we need to find the slope of a line? The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time. If we find the slope we can find the rate of change over that period.Why do we need to find the slope of a line?The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time.
